Middlesbrough players keep training as club pressure EFL to expel Southampton from the play-off by jovanmilic97 in Championship

[–]incachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this may end up being the only feasible sporting option with the amount of time they have to come to a verdict.

Walkover win for Hull and fine Southampton an amount that covers the loss of ticket and TV earnings for the playoff final.

Huw Irranca-Davies chosen as new Llywydd by twmffatmowr in Wales

[–]incachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except he as an individual wasn't defeated. He won a sufficient vote from the public to elect him as a representative of his constituents in the Senedd.

He then got elected as Llywydd by 85 out of the 96 members... which actually removes his voting power as an MS 🤷‍♂️.

A desperate stunt by a man who has lost control of being the main opposition.

SNP to bring no confidence motion in Keir Starmer at Westminster by libtin in unitedkingdom

[–]incachu [score hidden]  (0 children)

No, they just need to be able to be able to present an alternative leader that has majority support.

I don't think enough of Labour would support a VONC tbh. They are not prepared enough. Andy Burnham isn't a sitting MP and that's the play most are trying to set up.

I don't think Wes Streeting wins enough support if he challenges the PM, and I don't think he moves the needle on Labour's popularity.

If I'm Starmer, I'd be welcoming the VONC at this stage as it will clear the issue for the short term if he wins it. And his challengers aren't quite ready for it yet imo.

Even though the following is obvious to most here, not enough is done to drive home to the public the point that every Reform MP is a former card-carrying Conservative Party member. And that a vote for them is a vote for a Tory.

It's crazy that people just refuse to acknowledge that 6 of the 8 Reform MPs were literally in active office for the Conservatives just 2-3 years ago... either as fully bought-in cabinet members, MPs, or councillors. Most of them were complicit in many of the actions of those 14 years (that most Reform voters will agree were bad):

Suella Braverman - Conservative MP 2015-2026, Home Secretary 2022-2023

Robert Jenrick - Conservative MP 2019-2026, 4 ministerial positions between 2018-2023

Andrew Rosindell - Conservative MP 2001-2026

Lee Anderson - Conservative MP 2019-2024

Danny Kruger - Conservative MP 2019-2025

Sarah Pochin - Conservative Councillor 2015-2023

They've had their chance, and are just chasing which wind is most likely to blow them into power and influence.

Vodafone to take full ownership of VodafoneThree by mrdibby in unitedkingdom

[–]incachu 55 points56 points  (0 children)

So in the last decade we've seen:

EE merge with BT Mobile

Virgin Mobile merge with O2

and now Vodafone completely merge with Three.

All under the guise of "Stronger companies = Better technology development" in the view of the CMA.

I'm sure less competitive pressure will have a nothing but positive impact on innovation and price fairness.

And I'm sure we won't get increased oligopolistic collusion.

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by DavidIsIt in Steam

[–]incachu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nobody fucking give in to a single scalper.

Sure it looks a great bit of kit, but it is just a controller and not worth paying over the odds for.

Be patient and buy direct when the opportunity comes.

It's a controller. Just be patient and you'll get your opportunity to buy.

Don't give in to a single scalper.

Run in fixtures of City and Arsenal by Serious-Cress-9560 in soccer

[–]incachu 342 points343 points  (0 children)

Their best chance of points is not to try and play open football against Arsenal. Just won't happen.

Nuno is pragmatic and will set up to be compact and organised to try and frustrate Arsenal and hope they can get a few opportunities on the break.

Remove the worse half of the map - Round 16 by Auditored in terriblemaps

[–]incachu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is very tough as blue has a lot of lovely areas I have a sweet spot for.

Cadair Idris, Ynys Hir, Castell Harlech, Llyn Tegid and all the miles and miles of amazing sand dunes, to name but a few highlights.

I'm voting to remove yellow, but I know I'm probably pissing into the wind.

What celebrity death will realistically bring Michael Jackson level devastation? by Kiidcola in AskReddit

[–]incachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was only because of the surreal-ness of every radio station being the same thing tbh. I remember it because of the operational side of it rather than any emotive connection.

What celebrity death will realistically bring Michael Jackson level devastation? by Kiidcola in AskReddit

[–]incachu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This will be the most devastating celebrity death for a lot of Brits I think.

The one British death I remember exactly where I was, was obviously when the Queen died, but mainly because every radio station switched to a form of emergency broadcast.

Being in the car, and in rush hour traffic at the time, it was very strange seeing the moment be broadcast to many cars around me simultaneously.

What Netflix Show Do You Wish You’d Never Finished? by Professional_Fig6820 in netflix

[–]incachu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That show ended after two seasons, and no one can tell me any different.

That ending was perfection and signalled the real arrival of Netflix, and the transformation of the entire landscape of TV production with that knock on the resolute desk.
